"You have a beautiful family, Henry."
"They saved my life, Sarina; Brooke mostly but the girls, too. I'll be forever grateful that she saw something worthwhile in me and put up with the crap I gave her early on."
We sat next to each other on the couch and I still felt the ...aura, I guess is the word, that drew me to him in the first place. I was all too aware that one of the reasons I hadn't had any serious relationships since the divorce was that no other man made me feel like that.
"How've you been, Sarina?"
"I've been a mess, Henry, but I'm headed in the right direction now. I need to apologize to you for what I did."
"No apology is necessary, Sarina."
"This is actually as much or more for me than for you. I'm trying to forgive myself for things I've done and for people I've hurt. I'm an alcoholic, Henry, and have been since soon after you...we got divorced. I'm getting sober now and I'm making things right in my life."
"I didn't know, Sarina. I'm sorry. For whatever it's worth I forgave you a long time ago, so if it's of any help to you I'm happy to say the words: I forgive you."
"It is of...tremendous help to me, Henry. Before you got home Brooke told me some of what you went through and I can't believe my selfishness hurt the man I loved like that. But I'm a different person now and I would never consider doing something like that."
"I'm glad to hear that. You're a wonderful person with so much to offer. I hope you find someone that you can share that with. And I hope you'll come see us again. Brooke said you're moving back home. We have get-togethers here a few times a year. I hope you'll accept our invitations and know that you're always welcome here."
"She told me the same thing, and if my emotions can handle it I plan to take you both up on it. It hurts to look at you, knowing what we could have had, but I look forward to having you as a part of my life from now on."
"I hope you know Brooke is going to try and get you hooked up with someone. We know a lot of single people and I suspect more of them will be invited over from now on."
I leaned into my ex-husband and his arms came down around me. I was crying again, but I was content with where my life was going.
"Will you please stay for dinner?"
I pulled away from Henry but held his hand.
"I don't want to intrude on your family, Henry."
"You'll never be an intrusion, Sarina. Please stay."
I nodded my head I agreement and then we had one more quick hug before we went into the backyard to join Brooke and the kids.

Anonymous16 days agoWell written....but Henry and Brooks behavior towards her? PA-leeze, no one is THAT saintly!
Anonymous27 days agoI agree with prior comenters. Seeing my wife in a gangbang, would be less traumatizing than learning my wife had been in a six month affair with another guy. There is no intimacy in a gangbang. It really is just sex, and woukd mean my wife is simply a slut, and hence easier to dump. Thr long term affair would bring up issues of intimacy, sexual insecurity, does she love him, why wasn't I enough?, etc. Sarina was an out of control slut after her first taste. Yes harrowing but not nearly as crushing imho as a long term affair with a single guy. Just my two cents. 4 stars for story.
Harvey891028 days agoThis was a great story about how the selfishness of a wife can destroy a man but it also shows how a man can be saved by a good woman and they can have a wonderful life together. Sarina knows she destroyed any chance of having this kind of happiness with Henry but perhaps now that she has her life back together, she can meet a nice man and perhaps build a relationship similar to what Henry has with Brooke. Great story. Five stars, for sure!!!!
Anonymousabout 2 months agoAs nice a story as this is I can't reconcile the concept of a woman who is genuinely in love with and happy in her relationship with her husband having her head turned by her friend's stories about threesomes and gangbangs, it just makes no sense.
I realise that there are women who are into such things but they are few and far between.
The tone of the conversation between Sarina and Brooke also didn't ring true with me, sounding far more like the kind of talk I would expect to hear two men having over a few beers in a bar.
